Down in Texas, we call your bullet strikes -pockmarks! To me a bullet strike is a fastball right over home plate with an Astro knocking it outta the yard. NYUK-NYUK-NYUK. Just a little town ball and Curly Howard humor to go with some War Between the States seriousness!

Marvelous and beautiful. There is something about the POV from which this is shot, and the time you give us with the individual locations, returning for a look after you have spoken, that pulls the viewer into the experience of being there. And to feel some impact of these “true life” places. The seriousness and the humble man, woman and child that had to endure this and figure out what to do next. That we can all relate to. Poor Jennie Wade.

The July first Union retreat through town doesn't seem to be part of the usual agenda when it comes to Gettysburg visits. The Sweeny/Farnsworth house is another small part of the battle's history as well as a very cool place to stay. Really enjoying the series, thanks for sharing 👍. Edit: I told my wife about the episode and said it might be a nice place to stay for the night. She said she wasn't staying anywhere people were "riling up spirits" because she didn't want one attaching itself to either one of us.

As a native born Pennsylvanian, who loves History, Pennsylvania is a Commonwealth of American History all over the State. I live literally halfway between Philadelphia and Gettysburg, but the entire State is very historic. General John Fulton Reynolds, who died the first morning of the Battle of Gettysburg, he was born in Lancaster and was buried in The Lancaster Cemetery which was a city block from where I was raised in my youth, he has the largest monument in that cemetery.

Gettysburg is by far my favorite place to visit, I go every year! I enjoy watching your videos!

I was finally able to make the trip two weeks ago. Wanted to visit since I was a kid when my dad did reenactments and they held a mock battle there back in 1997, I may be pushing 40 now but I can finally say I got to see it and feel it. It was so surreal there, and sadness still lingers on those grounds.

Have been to the battlefield twice. So much history. You can actually see it in your mind. Love this country's history. I really enjoy your channel.

Great video. Love this Gettysburg tour! I think its highly unlikely a sniper would target the Wade house, specifically the door. Basically a blind shot? But if there were Union troops close by perhaps plausible. Definitely a good perch to target the street. The artillery shell that hit the house most likely a stray round intended for troops close by. Really fascinating and tragic all the same.

My friends and I rented the whole house for a few nights last year! Very cool place! The room in the video is my favorite. The Eisenhower room across the hall is also very nice. There's a HEAVY green glass jar in the bathroom of the child-themed room that tipped its top off while we were unpacking for our 1st night. I still have no logical explanation for how that things top moved on its own. The house didn't "feel" haunted to me but I heard enough things move in empty rooms that I believe it has to be haunted if anywhere is.

You do such a great job of sharing your experiences. I feel like I've been there.
